1. Coat hanger &
... aluminum foil 'ears' - or go to radio shack and get a 'tuneable
indoor antennae'. They're actually pretty good.

2. how much $ are you wanting to spend?
channelmaster stealth antenna works from the eave or attic of your home as well as the roof. It doesn't look like one of the normal wiry types.

i'm picking up 12 or so more channels now (several are just the same as others)

cable-less going on 2 yrs now.

3. Terk has quite a variety

I've had good experience with them. Some are amplified which is useful for weak signals.

You should consider local topography in some cases.
